There is nothing worse in the world than thinking you have a chance when you really don't.

Alas! is even love too weak

To unlock the heart, and let it speak?

Are even lovers powerless to reveal

To one another what indeed they feel?

— The Buried Life by Matthew Arnold

Freedom will not come

Today, this year

Nor ever

Through compromise and fear.

I have as much right

As the other fellow has

To stand

On my two feet

And own land.

I tire of hearing people say,

Let things take their course.

Tomorrow is another day.

I do not need freedom when I’m dead.

I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.

Freedom

Is a strong seed

Planted

In a great need.

I live here, too.

I want freedom

Just as you.

— Freedom by Langston Hughes

Explosions in the Sky / So Long, Lonesome

This song will always have a special place in my heart.. Listen.

“It has gradually been driven home to me that I cannot be of help to [a] troubled person by means of any intellectual or training procedure. No approach which relies upon knowledge, upon training, upon the acceptance of something that is taught, is of any use. These approaches seem so tempting and direct that I have, in the past, tried a great many of them. It is possible to explain a person to himself, to prescribe steps which should lead him forward, to train him in knowledge about a more satisfying mode of life. But such methods are, in my experience, futile and inconsequential. The most that they can accomplish is some temporary change, which soon disappears, leaving the individual more than ever convinced of his inadequacy.

The failure of any such approach through the intellect has forced me to recognize that change appears to come about through experience in a relationship … If I can provide a certain type of relationship, the other person will discover within himself the capacity to use that relationship for growth, and change and personal development will occur.

Two Friends

I have something to tell you.

I’m listening.

I’m dying.

I’m sorry to hear.

I’m growing old.

It’s terrible.

It is, I thought you should know.

Of course and I’m sorry. Keep in touch.

I will and you too.

And let me know what’s new.

Certainly, though it can’t be much.

And stay well.

And you too.

And go slow.

And you too.
